 Soil-structure interaction (uniform , or Beam on Elastic Foundation)
 Consideration of longitudinal rebars in both directions
 Consideration of bending moments in both directions
 Consideration of inclined loads
 Analysis / verification of perimeters from 0 to 2d, in all situations
 Calculation of critical perimeters when soil-structure interaction is considered
